Also recorded by: Burl Ives



 
We had just set our wedding day and I took you home
And went to a quiet place to celebrate alone
Then I heard your laughter and turned in time to see
You enter with someone, a stranger to me

Two of the usual I heard him say
Two of the usual in a too familiar ways
The truth has no mercy or kindness it seems
For two of the usual just shattered my dreams

My body was trembling down to my fingertips
With your goodnight kisses still warm on my lips
I sat there in darkness alone and afraid
And my world fell to pieces at the order he gave

Two of the usual I heard him say
Two of the usual in a too familiar ways
The truth has no mercy or kindness it seems
For two of the usual just shattered my dreams
